@fotosvond_ 8 күн бұрын
Always 35! :D Reason: 50 is too close at times, 24 gives you this wide angle perspective distortion which makes it more or less useless for my taste. 35 is wide enough/not too close while being visually more neutral compared to wide and ultrawide angels. Plus, it's ideal for video.

I think what also matters is what body you have, because these focal lengths are different with different bodies, like apsc vs fullframe. For streetphotography, the fave focal length will also be different based on preferences and styles.

I used to shoot mostly 50. It’s great at isolating subjects. But I prefer 35 as my daily lens, because you can get more of the scene, and it’s more forgiving when shooting wider apertures. Which, is probably why 35 is a classic documentary focal length.

Glad to see another photographer who has the same stylistic choices I do. I see the world in 24mm, but every one of these primes have a special place for specific purposes, which, is mildly annoying since I always see life cinematically as well. Think either Wes Anderson or M.Night Shyamalan. What lens do you usually use in everyday photography? I have a Canon M50 and I use an 18-200 Tamron Telephoto lens. It gets me by, but there's something more that I seem to be searching for. Do you have an Instagram with your photos? I'd love to see them and get in contact to swap ideas.

@Mav540i Жыл бұрын
I’d have to agree and say the 50mm is pretty good for street photography if you are capturing people without any background concepts; subjects are the key with that lens. I personally like the 35 for street because it allows you to capture the background which gives a total picture of the scene; similar to the 24 but not as wide. Either way with any of those you can’t lose; you just need to have a general idea of what you are shooting for. Good video! NYC is full of scenery

imo 35 is an awkward middle ground. a 40mm gives you a slightly more flexible FOV than a 50 but still maintains that subject/detail focus and cinematic look. If you're going down to 35 mind as well go to 28/24..

@OzxGG Жыл бұрын
@@dmitriflorez I haven’t, which is why I’m asking. I’ve just always heard staying at low aperture just because you can isn’t always best. Showing more background at a slightly higher aperture helps tell a story, which is what I thought street photography is about. Of course it’s all preference but I feel the cost of f2.8 in order to have the range of 3 primes in one lens might out weigh having ability of f1.4.. unless ur doing night time street photography. But I’m still on a kit lens and learning, so was just curious.
@MKNYC_ Жыл бұрын
People downplay it, but a premium prime just has this look of extra depth to it that you do not get with a 2.8. I used to shoot on 2.8 zooms and sold most of them off in favor of 1.4 primes.
@summonedfist Жыл бұрын
Don’t get too caught up in the zoom vs prime debate, esp in street photography (except as you mentioned when light is non existent for nighttime). Most of the time ppl just opt for primes cuz they’re more inconspicuous than using 24-70 zooms on the street. If you know what focal length works best for you, then you get all your photos with that same perspective and ultimately build your style. Just my 2 cents!
@proksalevente Жыл бұрын
That's ny dilemma. I want to pick up a prime to complement my 24-70, which probably will be a sigma 85 1.4. I really like the 24-70, but people notice me more than before. I used to shoot a samyang 24 1.8 and a sony 85 1.8 and those lenses are tiny. Almost made my a7r3 look like a toy camera. The sigma 24-70 makes me look like a pedo/professional and stand out like a sore thumb.
